USB max 4x4 i think is a 4x4x6, ie the Iomega drive.

i'd go for firewire but i only have 4PCI slots and they're all filled 4x shouldn't be too bad for burning cd's, i'll have to go and do some price checking thanx guys!

When USB 2.0 starts comming out on motherboards, we should start to see faster CD burners. Maybe even USB hard drives. I think USB 2 has something like 400 mbits bandwidth.

Firewire (ok IEEE 1394 - Firewire is Mac) is another technology that I hope starts to kick its way into the market. Currently its main purpose is for Digital Video, but I'm sure more devices will be made for it.
